“With The Music Box’s newly remodeled facelift reveal scheduled the very same weekend, joining forces with Insomniac could not have come at a better time,” says The Music Box’s Director of Special Events, Preston Gaspar. “I can’t think of a better way to start than Sander, one of the hottest electronic VDJ’s in the world, to compliment our brand new state-of-the-art sound and lighting system.”

Dutch DJ and producer Sander Kleinenberg has built his international reputation on an ability to create different atmospheres, for myriad crowds, at venues all over the world. His sets range from sparse and dark trance to uplifting and deep house, keeping him busy hopping around the globe to spin at high-profile clubs and producing tracks on numerous compilations. Kleinenberg is well known for his use of digital imagery video in concerts and for his “This Is” brand of club nights and albums. His 2000 single “My Lexicon” is often considered a progressive house standard.

Born and raised in The Hague, Holland, Kleinenberg’s early influences were the American beats of Mantronix, remixer Shep Pettibone, and Jellybean Benitez coupled with the pop sounds of Depeche Mode. The head of his own Little Mountain label, and a producer of sublime original tracks that elude being easily date-stamped, Kleinenberg plans to tap into all the facets of his creativity for his next album, forthcoming at a date to be determined. “I am working on a definitive document,” he hints. “I want to create a real landmark, both visually and musically, where I say, ‘This has been my journey over the last twenty years… and this is where I am now.’” For more info go to www.sanderkleinenberg.com.
